things for a new owners to plan on fixing / replacing
Posted: 22 Mar 2016 04:56
for a 09/09 Veloce. Apart from the normal consumables available from the local Italian bike shop.
Oil filters, I was just going to source a replacement from Ryco Australia like I do for my Benelli filters.
Maniac motors in Germany for other bits and pieces.
So do I have to plan on the earth wire mod (can some explain this) and coolant hose replacement for a 08+ model?
Silicone grease the relays in the instrument binnacle area.
fit a good strong battery.
Is the battery cables okay or should I fit thicker less resistance cables? (a common mod on earlier benellis)
What the lastest maps I should run, both with the stock ecu and the race one ( I don't expect the one I'm looking at has a power commander, I expect its not warranted if I use Tune-ecu to do any dyno tuning).
Any other things I should look for?
I seem to remember the later models has the Ohlins rear shock, is this correct?
Any helpful tips much appreciated.
